Compare WSData
WSData vs traditional secure file sharing
Most platforms ask you to trust the vendor. WSData is designed to remove that trust requirement.
| Capability | WSData | Traditional SaaS file sharing |
|---|---|---|
| Customer-owned cloud infrastructure | Yes | Usually no |
| Customer-controlled keys | Yes | Limited or vendor-managed |
| Client-side encryption before upload | Yes | Often no |
| Vendor can access plaintext | No | Often possible depending on architecture |
| Cryptographic document provenance | Yes | Rare or absent |
| Offline authenticity verification | Yes | No |
| Per-domain pricing option | Yes | Usually per-user |
| Secure messaging replacement | Yes | Usually file sharing only |
Why this matters
Architecture changes the risk profile.
Traditional SaaS file sharing centralises sensitive customer data in vendor-controlled environments. That can increase breach impact, create compliance pressure, and leave buyers relying on promises about vendor-side access controls.
WSData reduces that exposure by encrypting before upload, storing encrypted data in customer-owned cloud infrastructure, and keeping keys under customer control. Provenance adds something conventional sharing rarely provides: mathematically verifiable proof that a critical document is genuine and unchanged.
